The first day of school can be a very anxious one. Not only for the students and their parents, but the teachers as well. I usually start the morning off by introducing myself to the parents and to the children. I make sure I not only shake the parents hand, but the child’s as well. I can instantly see some relief leave their faces. First impressions are huge with the parents and your students. Mom and dad want to make sure their child is happy and comfortable. While the child wants o feel safe and accepted. This is a great way to lift a huge burden off of everyone’s shoulders.
